Refugee Advice and Casework Service

RACS refugee and asylum seeker support appeal

Thank you - your support will enable the many men, women and children to urgently meet the October 1 deadline to lodge a visa application, thereby avoiding possible deportation.

This completes stage one in a person’s very long journey in applying for asylum in Australia.

Where do we go from here?

After October 1, our dedication to our clients and our commitment to each and every person will continue until a final decision is made on every person’s case. There will be further submissions and interviews, clarification of decisions, essential document support and if necessary, Judicial Review referrals to barristers.

It is a long and incredibly hard process for the brave men, women and families who come through our doors. Most have experienced unimaginable trauma and grief in their home countries.

With your support, together we are helping to give people escaping persecution a stronger voice.
